Battersby and Martin and Anor

In the matter of *Battersby and Martin and Anor*, heard before Murphy J of the Family Court of Australia, the parties presented a dispute for resolution. The precise nature of the dispute is not detailed, but the outcome indicates it involved matters concerning children, as evidenced by the involvement of an Independent Children's Lawyer and the reference to specific sections of the *Family Law Act 1975* concerning children's matters.

The court was required to determine the appropriate orders to give effect to the parties' agreement, as reflected in the "Minutes of Consent". This involved considering the formalisation of these agreements, the dismissal of outstanding applications, the return of subpoenaed documents and exhibits, the discharge of the Independent Children's Lawyer, and the inclusion of specific information regarding compliance and contravention of the orders.

Murphy J made orders by consent, reflecting the parties' agreement. These orders included the formalisation of the "Minutes of Consent" and their inclusion on the court file. All other extant applications were dismissed, and subpoenaed documents and exhibits were to be returned to their original custodians. The Independent Children's Lawyer was discharged. Crucially, the court also directed that particulars of the obligations created by the orders, the consequences of contravention, and information on assistance for compliance were to be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, thereby incorporating these details into the orders pursuant to sections 65DA(2) and 62B of the *Family Law Act 1975*.
